Transsion Holdings’ Infinix Mobile has added a new member to its Hot series.

The Infinix Hot 11 Play has gone official in Africa, with preorders now up in Ghana. The version with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage is priced at GH₵799 — or around P6,511 in Philippine pesos and $131 in U.S. dollars. The variant with double the expandable storage, on the other hand, retails at GH₵879 (P7,163 or $144).

Even if you’re not familiar with the Hot lineup, you’ll see from the prices alone that the Hot 11 Play is an entry-level smartphone. It’s based on a MediaTek Helio G35 chip, which has budget-conscious gamers in mind.

And because the device boasts a 6,000mAh battery and supports Power Marathon technology, one can go on marathon gaming sessions. In fact, Infinix claims that “when the battery reaches 5% of its full capacity, [you can] turn on Ultra Power Mode via Power Marathon to get 37 hours of battery time.”

There’s also a 6.81-inch screen with a waterdrop notch here. You’ll also find a 13-megapixel dual camera on the back and an 8-megapixel selfie shooter.

Sounds familiar? The Infinix Hot 11 Play shares the same specs as its predecessor, the Infinix Hot 10 Play, which we reviewed here. The only difference? The older model has an OS that’s based on Android 10. The successor is already running XOS 7.6 layered with Android 11.
